So I was trying to change the seal on the fan Hub, Big leak, when tring to remove the fan hub from the crank it required a puller and an indordinate amount of pressure to break free. Once it had broken free I found that the crank keyway had sheared and was in two pieces. This had happened prior to our buying the car but is one more thing that has shown up during the Tune-Up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and leak fix that keeps growing with leaps and bounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) . any Ideas on cause?

The o'ring goes behind the hub when you install it. You'll notice a step on the back; that's for the o-ring. I doubt you's EVER find the woodruff key in a FLAPS, so you might want to order one from a Porsche or VW oriented shop or parts source. GPR might have one. Just make sure everything is clean and not chingered up and you should be OK. Use the correct thick washer and special bolt, torqued to 18 ft/lbs.

Thank you very much for pointing out the "O"ring behind the fan hub, the people that were in there before had not used one. I have a new key from Deutschland and am going out to try it in place now. does the "missing "O" ring come in a standard engine kit? |
